[Roger Oberholtzer <roger@xxxxxx>]

I have a disk that boots in one machine and not the other (previous post
about this a week or so back). I have investigated further and see that
on one machine (the original on which it works fine) it is using
pata_via. On the system I want to move it to, I see that these are being
loaded: ahci ata_piix ata_generic piix ide_pci_generic

My question is: could I simply add both sets to the initrd? Then,
depending on which system it boots on the drivers will be loaded? When
the move is known to work, the pata_via module should go away. But I do
not want to remove it before I know the new boot works because it may
need to go back in the old machine if the new one fails to boot.

Perhaps I should make a copy of the current initrd and make a grub entry
that boots with that. And make a new initrd with the new modules and
make a grub entry that boots with that instead?
